Feather value increment not working as expected

Question

When using the 2025 PS version, the value in the feather dialog box has changed the way it behaves.

In the 2024 version and all the previous, when entering i.e. 5px. and clicking the down arrow, the value changes to 4.9. This is very important for me as in many ocasions, if I need 0.7px I will just hit 1 followed by thee strokes on the down arrow. In the 2025 version, this changes and with the arrow, up or down, goes to whole numbers (4px 3px 2px...) Has anyone experienced the same? Any solution will be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I tried reproducing the behavior in Photoshop 26.7 on macOS, but it is working as expected. Could you let us know the exact version of Photoshop you're using, along with the macOS version you're working on?

You can try resetting the tool using the steps suggested here: https://adobe.ly/44LyWg2

Let us know if it makes a difference!

Thanks,
Nikunj
